August 30, 2024 Birding for Joy: Live, Laugh, Bird with Angela Schumpert
This week’s episode is all about entertainment. I had the opportunity to interview Angela Schumpert, AKA The Berd Nird, perhaps one of the funniest content creators in the birding community over on Instagram. In just one year, Angela managed to organically gain over 48,000 followers by simply putting in the effort and being herself, a birder with a sense of humor. During the interview, Angela shared three tips for the beginning birder and suggestions for those interested in content creation.
